On September 17, 2004, the EEOC, on behalf of an African-American employee, filed complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title I of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. The complaint claimed the defendant engaged in unlawful employment by subjecting the charging party to harassment on the basis of her race, African American, and retaliating against her when she complained.
On August 15, 2005, the court (Judge Ruben Castillo) approved a consent decree. The decree called for $20,000 in damages and carried with it a duration of 12 months. Additionally, the decree required injunctive relief in the form of EEOC posting of policies in the workplace and an overhaul of record keeping, reporting, policy distribution, employee training and dispute resolution in regard to harassment issues.
